A-pillar-only roll bar?

Would an A-pillar-only roll bar be worth the time and money? I don't need or want a full cage, but it seems that every pic. of a rolled, seriously flopped, or wrecked XJ has the roof at the top of the windshield caved in. It would be made like the A-pillar section of PSC's cages--gusseted flat plates at the sides of the dash, bolted to the floor, and with bends in the top bar to clear the overhead console. Any thoughts?

I guess you could make a single bar, but that might not prevent it from folding inwards on you. It needs lots of support to stay upright, which is why most cages aren't just one bar.

it would only be worth it if you made a B pillar as well to tie it altogether.a single hoop would do nothing.

Nope. Not worth it.

Thanks, guys. This is pretty much what I figured.
